Answer:
20,000 shares
Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
Dilutive number of shares:-
Proceeds from the options issue = 50,000 × $15
= $750,000
Shares issued = 50,000
Treasury shares purchased from proceeds of the options
= ($750,000 ÷ $25)
= 30,000
Dilutive number of shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares purchased back
50,000 - 30,000
= 20,000 shares
